No, the math is separate from the literary braille translation. It would be
pretty awful if the Latex were to be translated into contracted braille.

John,

Many thanks for this email.

One final question,

would the  LaTEX code conflict with the literary code for when I run both
codes together? for my view plus embraille embosser please?

Regards,

Tolga.
